Ligier LMP3 Numbers, Not 48!

23 March 2016, 9:53 AM

We reported over the weekend that the Kox Racing Ligier JS P3 sports chassis number 48, but as it turns out it is not, as we assumed, the 48th Ligier LMP3 chassis built as a highly amused Peter Kox told DSC yesterday at Paul Ricard.

“It’s number 48 at Nico’s (car owner Nico Pronk) request. He is a big collector and many of his cars have 48 as the number.

“I read the story and found it amazing how fast one photograph can make its way around the web!”

DSC caught up later in the day with Onroak Automotive owner Jacques Nicolet and asked the question. How many Ligier LMP3s have been built?

“We have a car to announce for another Series in the next week or so and I believe that is number 37 with some other interest moving forward.”

And for completeness. Here are the chassis numbers of the 19 Ligier LMP3s here at Paul Ricard for the ELMS Prologue Test with the most recent car (aside from the #21 Kox Racing example) the #13 Inter Europe Ligier at Chassis 34
